Admittedly, this is a mostly LAMP and JS position, though we have a
couple of Rails apps that will need an extensive rewrite in Rails 3 in
the near future. I'm posting it here, because I have a lot of respect
for the group and suspect I'm not the only SDRuby member who's
interested in languages and technologies other than Ruby and Rails.
There's potential for more Ruby/Rails projects, which would only
increase with another Ruby engineer on board, but most of your time will
be spent coding in PHP and JavaScript.
Let me know if you have any questions.
